Gina puts up a wall when she gets negative like this. ..........But it's NOT healthy and it will take hours, if not a day or two for her to be happy again. ..............."I'll get better but I just need time for these thoughts to go away and I need to deal with it myself." But it's NOT healthy and it will take hours, if not a day or two for her to be happy again....she doesn't just "shut off" right away after thinking a though but rather she'll think it through and then shut off an hour later. you are wonderful for caring about your girlfriend in such a way...i amend you for catching early signs..i have alot of my own problems but i recognize these signs and a RED FLAG goes up...dont pressure her too much because until she is ready she may resent you for it,but the longer she doesnt open up the worse she may get...there may be problems in the relationship that is not obvious to you,ie distance....tell her what you want for a future and how you want to spend it with her happily and if that means she should talk to someone about what is going on inside of her then she may realize it. try councelling together...i think with your love and support she will be ok
